I'm really worried about my girl Lego. She's 7.5 years old approx. I fed her breakfast on teh way to work yesterday, when I came home she hadn't finished it. She'd eaten most. I've noticed this a bit lately, so I've cut down on her pellets, hoping she'd eat more hay. Anyways, she hasn't eaten since breakfast yesterday (I don't know when she ate her breakfast tho). Today (and last night) I've been giving her Ovol. I don't really seem like a gas issue tho since I don't hear gurling. Her tummy was very hard on the left hand side just below her ribcage. So I've been trying to massage it... and tonigh I don't feel it like I did all day. I've also been having her ride the dryer and I put a heating pad under a sheet under her. She doesn't seem to want the heat.
She ate a tiny bit of banana, but nothing since. Won't touch hay, pumpkin or the rest of the banana (tho I seems like she wants to).
I also have some left over metacam... but don't know how much to give her.
I have given her a bit of water too. But this afternoon I found her laying beside her water bowl with her head resting on the rim (not very like her at all). And just now I she was in her litterbox, football position and I saw a large teardrop on her one eye. It's not snotty... just a tear. I think she's in pain.
Unfortunately we are having a holiday here in Canada, so I couldn't take her to the vet. I really don't know if she's gonna make the night.
Any suggestions for us? Should I give her metacam... what dose? I do have some critical care in the freezer, but not sure if I should give it to her or not, if she has a blockage.
Thanks,
Sandra
